Concept
Scenes I encounter while interacting with others in my daily life, memories, atmosphere, color, specific gestures—each of these serves as motivation for my work. It was my experience with severe atopic dermatitis during adolescence that sparked my interest in the human face. Using the people I encounter as a medium while weaving in my own perspective, I create “someone” and paint the “face” that exists within each.
